The U.S. government injects $2 billion, and quantum computing companies collectively soar!

According to overseas media reports, the US government plans to provide a total of $2 billion in subsidies to nine companies and will directly hold equity in the relevant companies. Similar news has been circulating in the market before, and this time it seems to be coming to fruition. Among them, IBM has already signed an agreement with the US Department of Commerce to build a US quantum chip factory. The US Department of Commerce will inject $1 billion into IBM's subsidiary Anderon, while IBM will also invest $1 billion along with personnel, intellectual property, and other assets. The factory will be the first in the US to focus on quantum chip manufacturing, serving not only IBM itself but also making quantum chip manufacturing capabilities available to external customers. The company has already started looking for potential customers. Information shows that in addition to IBM receiving $1 billion, GlobalFoundries will receive $375 million in funding to build a domestic factory in the US to produce components needed for quantum computing. D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, and Infleqtion will each receive around $100 million in funding support. In response to this news, US quantum concept stocks surged. IBM rose by 12.43%, while other quantum concept stocks had even more exaggerated increases: Rigetti Computing surged by 30.57%, D-Wave Quantum surged by 33.54%, Quantum Computing surged by 19.35%, and IonQ rose by 12.24%. Previously, in August 2025, the US government directly invested $8.9 billion in Intel, driving the company's stock price to soar by 480% in less than a year, reaching a historic high.
